Justine Bateman on the Pitfalls of AI in a Human World

I’ve known for years that the actor and filmmaker Justine Bateman had prescient thoughts about art and society. But now, we need her (and her complementary background in computer science) more than ever. Far-removed from her teen stardom on Family Ties, Justine and I talk about how artificial intelligence threatens the existence of movies, books, and even our creative souls. I knew there was something to opting for privacy, and it turns out that Justine specifically sees it as a way to protect art as we know it. Plus, we discuss how fickle fame can be and why she finds beauty and practicality in aging naturally.

What is cognitive security?

What is cognitive security?

This issue should be approached from two directions.

  • How can you protect yourself from cognitive exploitation?
  • How can you use these techniques to penetrate enemy organizations?

The Big Idea

    • Human Behavior is Central to Cybersecurity Risks: Over 60% of data breaches involve human elements such as phishing, policy non-compliance, and cognitive overload. Traditional security measures often overlook or under address these behavioral factors, leaving organizations vulnerable.
    • Cognitive Security is A Behavior-Centric Defense Approach: Cognitive security integrates principles from psychology and neuroscience to protect against manipulation and risky decision-making. It focuses on guiding user behavior in real-time as a behavioral control, transforming security from a reactive process to proactive behavior reinforcement.
    • Security Culture Must Move from Blame to Empowerment: Instead of penalizing users for security lapses, cognitive security emphasizes understanding and supporting human decision-making processes. This fosters a security culture where safe practices become intuitive and integral to daily operations.

Elon Musk Built an Al Super Computer in our Backyard

Elon Musk’s massive xAI data center is poisoning Memphis.

It’s burning enough gas to power a small city, with no permits and no pollution controls.

Residents tell us they can’t breathe and they’re getting sicker.
